Vienna Boys' Choir from Above

The famed Vienna Boys' Choir performs on the altar of the Hapsburg's Imperial Chapel at Hofburg Palace (begun 1447) in Wien, Austria. We attended Bruckner's Mass in D-Minor in June of 2010. We were seated in the front row of a side balcony, high above, which offered this unique perspective. The Choir is divided into four touring choirs of equal standing. They share the tours, appearances in Vienna and recording projects. Each choir has a choirmaster and two tutors who travel with the boys. The voices? Angelic.
